Strong Will Continue Nas

All I do is stay focused
Lookin' straight forward at the world and beyond
I feel people pullin' me down, I feel some pullin' me up
I can't get stuck, I just keep movin' forward
I got places to go, man, let's go

When the Armageddon's dark and dread
A lot of weak hearted weep and moan
Only the strong will continue, do you have it in you?
Come, we've got a journey to go

And when the battle get sour and dread
A lot of weak hearted wither and moan
Only the strong will continue, I know you have it in you
I know you have it in you

Hey, the victory's found in truth
Like innocence found in youth
Self defeat is your own dispute
And man, you put yourself in your own shoes

Either you're winnin' or losin'
Don't you get it confused
Play a star and you know your own movie
Playin' of the role you choose, so

Stand up and fight if you know say you're right
And know you will never fail
Tippin' the scale and the wind shall prevail
And the boat shall forever sail

Hey, there ain't no stoppin' or cruisin'
Even when you're battered and bruised
Hold gun all the sprinklers on Mt. Olympus
Might gat tougher than Zeus

When the Armageddon's dark and dread (uh, I get up and make it happen)
A lot of weak hearted weep and moan (uh, uh, I get up, and we get it cracking)
Only the strong will continue, do you have it in you?
Come, we've got a journey to go

And when the battle gets sour and dread (I get up, and I get it going)
A lot of weak hearted wither and moan (we get up, and we keep it flowing)
Only the strong will continue (yeah), I know you have it in you (yeah-yeah)
I know you have it in you

Uh, as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
New York to Cali, for the money, power, respect
It's a journey, some will get left behind
'Cause in life, you cannot press rewind

Get it right, you only have one first chance
To make one first impression that lasts a lifetime
Reputation supersede itself
Do you believe in hell? Babylon greed for wealth

Do you deceive yourself and let your ego swell?
And disregard those who most need your help
Thick skin, the dark won't take my soul
Survive spiritual wars, see my welts

And the evil's felt, but the faith is stronger
I saw grown men fall when I was a youngster
But I clench my fists, ready to go against whoever
Tie my timbs and rise in the end

When the Armageddon's dark and dread (uh, I get up and make it happen)
A lot of weak hearted weep and moan (uh, uh, I get up, and we get it cracking)
Only the strong will continue, do you have it in you?
Come, we've got a journey to go

And when the battle get sour and tread (I get up, and I get it going)
A lot of weak hearted wither and moan (we get up, and we keep it flowing)
Only the strong will continue (yeah), I know you have it in you (yeah-yeah)
I know you have it in you

Uh, no man live forever, but never say never
Every good he wants better, just be a go getter
And always be clever in every endeavor
Now, drastic time call for drastic measure

Your girl try to pleasure from your neighbors, things sever
The land and the treasure, work for whatever
Jah said, "Don't be a beggar," the Alpha Omega
Will bless every soul no matter which name you prefer

The immortal stepper, believe in every skin
No matter which color they are
We never let, we don't know here which kind of weather
You're destined to rise like the son of Rebbecca
Don't stop for a second

Everyone reckon, it sure would be good to be there
Whether Zion or Mecca
When the gates are finally closed
And the saints go marchin' in

When the Armageddon's dark and dread (uh, I get up and make it happen)
A lot of weak hearted weep and moan (uh, uh, I get up, and we get it cracking)
Only the strong will continue, do you have it in you?
Come, we've got a journey to go

And when the battle get sour and dread (I get up, and I get it going)
A lot of weak hearted wither and moan (we get up, and we keep it flowing)
Only the strong will continue (only the strong will continue)
I know you have it in you (I know you have it in you)
I know you have it in you
I'm a street lifer, always harassed by the C-ciphers
Chief-like, Geronimo with his peace pipe
I emerged from the street life
This for the homies who relate, know what it be like

My QB life
Taken and turned to the Louie XIII life
Twisted and mangled sorta like Bruce Lee life
Cursed with his son Brandon, if that's you and me, Knight
I pray our fate's greater

I speak like, I still matter as a rapper, not doubtin'
Even Toni Braxton signed a deal with Craig Kallman
How in, the hell am I supposed to stay comfy
When I pay child support, alimony monthly?

Got Maseratis and Ferraris
Only like a woman who's a rider, but only hoes want me
Single life crazy, niggas wives on me
I say, "Stay faithful," they say, "Their man corny"

So, I'm stuck with some married woman, so fine
Cheatin' while their husband rushin' on the 40-yard line
Wonder if this is what my ex did the whole time
Good niggas seem to always end up with some hard times, hope not

If a pimp slippin' in a hoe plot, ain't nothin' to it, G
In a two-tone drop, kid
And it don't stop, see a nigga disappearin'
With the baddest honey's in the whole spot, yeah
